Abstract

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common cause of scoliosis. The non-surgical treatments, especially the rehabilitation exercises for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with or without bracing have been shown to be effective in the world, but in Vietnam they are still limited and have not been attentive. Analyzing 9 subjects from Pubmed data showed that most adolescent idiopathic scoliosis have moderate scoliosis with 27.31 degree and the pro-female bias was 84.08%. Rehabilitation programs are diverse, primarily using Schroth exercises and scientific exercises approach to scoliosis (SEAS). The rehabilitation exercises for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with or without bracing are effective in reducing the Cobb’s angle and the rotation of the vertebral body, so we recommend using these methods for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis as soon as possible.
